Topic Saturday Ride, Dec. 21 
Author Dave Robinson 
Date Created 12/20/2002 9:16:31 AM 
Message Is anyone interested in riding on Saturday? Forecast is partly cloudy with no precip, high-30s in the morning, warming to low-50s in the afternoon. I have no routes in mind, so I'll defer to some GPS-wielding map maven to lead the pack.

Message I don't have a GPS, but I think I'm up for a ride. How about a little later start-say 10:00 am? It might be a bit warmer then.

Message Hi, Al. Yeah--a 10:00 a.m. start works for me. I'd also recommend that we make this a shorter jaunt than usual. Perhaps ending back near Centreville around 4:00 p.m. How about a ride to the Route 11 Potato Chip Factory (http://www.rt11.com/rt11/)? It's a reasonable distance to ride, they're open for tours from 10 to 5, and we could stock up on last minute Christmas gifts!

Message After doing a little map recon on the Web, I'd recommend that we take US 50 out to Winchester, cruise some of the 3-digit roads west of I-81, loop back to Middletown, do the Factory, then take US 55 back home.

Message Hey you can count me in. Just post what time we will meet. A 9:45-10:00am meet time and a departure time of 10:15am I think will work best. I will assume the regular 3rd Saturday ride start location?

Message O. K. how about this plan. We meet at 10:00 a.m. at the usual 3rd Saturday starting point (Colonade Shopping Center),departure NLT 10:15 a.m. and a planned return time of 4:00 p.m. Of course, those who may need/want to return earlier will be able to find plenty of good drop-off points. Looks like it will be a great day for a little ride in the country. Even Marie is planning to ride along. See you guys in the morning.

Message Well Dave, I had planned to post something earlier as I am still working on some GPS route. Having a minor "operator" error with the software.....

Anyway, I've been wanting to go for a ride so I will meet tomorrow. Glad to see other showing up (Matt, Al, Ralph etc.)

Need to road test my latest "do-dad" gizmo. //Mike
